We trekked back from Everest Base Camp via Tengboche Monastery. It was a relieve to stop walking and it offers some amazing views of Mt Everest. My favorite picture of this hike was taken here, outside the monastery with Everest in the background. My guide and I hugged and the picture was taken. For me this picture represents the hardships of the hike and the optimism of going home to see my family.

While Trekking the EBC we spent two nights in Tengboche and loved the Monastery. Out of all the monastery's we went to the monks in Tengboche were very nice and talked with us for an hour about Buddhism and there daily lives. I recommend making a stop if you are trekking through it is a place you will remember forever.
